Sapim CX-Ray (straight pull)

Bladed spokes with a 2.0/2.2×0.9/2.0mm profile. These are lightweight spokes that can be used with normal hubs (no oversized drilling required), offering aerodynamic benefits and fashion cred. Holding the bladed section with a special tool makes CX-Ray spokes trivial to use.

Normally ships in two weeks. Unlike round spokes, Sapim CX-Rays are not well stocked so a special order is normally required. For this reason a minimum order of 50 pieces in any mix of lengths is required by the system (which automatically qualifies for free shipping).

Prices in Canadian dollars. When comparing to foreign retailers, be aware credit card conversion from US dollars adds 34.2% and importing means fees on delivery (potentially combined with a queue at the post office). Customs-related delays are increasingly common in the trade war era.
